2road Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Hi, I have a small capital and I am looking for ways to make some money, legally, in Thailand to support my (modest) living expenses. I am open to everything: partnerships, small business, online business, export / others ways; I don't have much of business experience except for private English teaching (which, so far has not been really successful here) I just need some ideas from people that already live/work here thank you so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonray Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 if you cannot make private English lessons successful...I would question committing capital to anything else. Not being a jerk, don't misunderstand me...but English is a wide open market if you are a native speaker. If not successful, your marketing approach will likely be flawed in other endeavors too.

2road Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Im not a native speaker, even thou i speak perfect english. The approach is not about marketing, its more about networking; you read the post carefully (which i doubt you did). But thank you for your contribution.

Better you just look for a job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zierf1 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Direct marketing has always worked for me. You need to get some leads and sell them something. I suggest a good b2b lead scraper tool. Once I get their credit card information, I'm golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutenberg Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 So, really, every damn reply in this thread is unfriendly and impolite. Next time, start two posts, one for the clowns here and one for friendly discussion about the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverSure Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 OP, You are asking in the wrong place. The expat community in Thailand is hardly filled with successful people who could give advice from good experience. An expat with a successful business in Thailand is a rare commodity and even then I don't know if they'd give up their "secret". The Thai rules for owning and operating a business in Thailand cause it to not be worth it, IMHO. Many expats are in Thailand because they had difficulty making it in their home countries. Not all mind you, but many. Some occupy bar stools while they give out their "advice". I live a very nice lifestyle in my own home in the US because I can afford it, and then I visit Thailand when I'm in the mood. Many of the guys in Thailand who have a good income work for multinational companies on a good salary. Either that or they came with money and simply chose to live in Thailand. Good for them. It seems that a lot of guys who show up with no money wind up teaching English which is an honorable way to survive IMHO. I wish you luck. Whatever you do won't be easy. Cheers.

I have found her. not interested. thanks for the smart post. people must love yr sarcasm You have found her? That is great! It just proves that you are successful at this, and that my idea is a sound one. Think about it- nothing in terms of equipment or stock to buy, so minimal startup cost. Only requires your time and effort, so minimal operation cost. Your biggest problem is marketing cost - finding customers. Spend the 10,000 on advertising to find the lovesick punters.
